  1. Who's got the # for the Forest Service?!?!
  2. No need for a alarm at all...if you let him, a guy will come wake you up on the first morning...he'll be very helpful with suggestions on what to do with the few minutes you'll need to wake up, get dressed, hit the head, make up your bed, etc. Now, he'll be adamant that you move with purpose, that you pay close attention to his suggestions...and there will be many suggestions, delivered quickly... You probably will learn enough that first morning to not need him to come back the next day.. Good luck...and try to remember to have fun!!(when permitted)
  3. I'll pile on: has to be local RAW honey...not clarified or strained or colored or boiled...preferably with the comb in a jar from a local apiary. Works like a champ.
  4. Just a data point: ios7 with safari on iPhone works fine when you tap the top line (scrolls right up!)
  5. What would you do, Jaded? Your #1 Capt has his OPR close out in Feb '14. He's been the heat in your Sq. His Flt/CC (or shop chief) ranks him #1/15 in his block on the draft OPR, you're intending to make him #1/57 Capts. Then he swings by one day before the OPR closes out and says he's thinking of applying for VSP for personal reasons. What are you gonna do?
  6. We're supposed to be a nation of laws. Snowden was wrong to disclose classified, and the NSA is wrong for violating the 4th amendment. The American people win if: Snowden does token time, and the NSA (& others) KIO.
  7. Sure thing. Not normally such a whiny bitch--caught me at a bad moment. Apologies, and thanks for working on the site...
  8. "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty" did not suck--great couples date-night flick... Edit: excellent score, awesome photography, good plot, with plenty of twists and surprises, and a bit of comedy to boot. Recommend.
  9. One of the best things about the mobile site was...no fucking ads. Sigh. Now there's ad banners. Can I write a check to make them go away?
  10. I'll play: Roth IRA: $25k Mutual fund: $65k Home: $130k my equity No debt except mortgage of $220k...gonna downsize in the next yr or two... 2 kids already thru college and with wheels, no debt for either, currently working same plan on the third... $5mil in AF retirement coming my way over the next 40 yrs...I hope...
  11. I would. Use iPhone + safari on BODN mobile site 90% of the time anyway...
  12. Fellas, I've been working rated assignments with the last three 11M and other functionals for ~five years. Including three trips to AFPC to haggle. Been working with lots of Sq/CCs and OG/CCs for the same timeframe. Never, not once, has VSP status entered any of those conversations, nor affected someone I know's assignment. If you think your VSP status is affecting your strat, school push, assignment options, etc...PM me, I'd like to hear your story.
  13. "2" IOS 7 quote test on iPhone safari. Edit: worked like a champ.
  14. What I'm telling my VSP/TERA guys: make the decision based on what's best for you...this could be the only AF decision you have input on, ever...so make it count, then live with it.
  15. Those people aren't doing it right. Edit: and they are poorly led.
  16. Don't lie. Don't lie by omission. Download and read AFI 48-123V1-4 Find any post by deaddebate, read the stuff in his sig block. Yes, your official military med records will be perused. If the medical issue is resolved, it might not even be an issue. Re-read the stuff deaddebate posts, and the stuff in his sig block. Especially read the waiver guides. Make an appt w/Flight surgeon to discuss what you're worried about BEFORE your FC1--that'll likely settle any doubts. Good luck! Edit: fix double post
  17. Words: Staff. AFGSC HQ. Any AOC. School cadre. Academy AOC. Safety Center. AFIA. Pentagon. ALO. AFMC HQ. Any logistics center.
  18. I'll play "bad" guy: serve six more years, collect $3M+ in retainer pay + some medical over the next 40 years, with a percentage to your spouse if you die first (SSB). Pretty good return on one or two more assignments...and if you get promoted, make it closer to $4M... Whatever you choose, good luck and Godspeed!
  19. OK...When using iphone and iOS 7, the "Up/Dn" post-vote buttons aren't showing up anymore. In fact it's been a few weeks since I've seen them. The post vote COUNT number still shows, however. Appreciate you looking into it.
  20. They raised the kids who built the modern phone.
  21. EXERCISE ex-er-size Eggs-are-sides For BACON
  22. Probably PAFSC...but might be your RDTM code (check your SURF). RDTM HB=C-130, etc ETA: or, what olevelo said...
  23. Didn't Congress merely assess and pass the Pentagon's budget request (like they often do) to reduce retiree COLA, among other things? http://security.blogs.cnn.com/2013/07/31/pay-benefits-troop-reduction-on-the-table-as-pentagon-wrestles-with-budget-cuts/ We might be pissed at congress for passing the damn thing, but isn't it what Hagel and the Joint Chiefs asked for?
